For the 97th episode of the CIO podcast hosted by Healthcare IT Today, we are joined by Faisal Hussain, MD, MHIIM, RHIA, CCDS, CDIP, CCS, Executive Director, CDI at Wellstar Health System, to talk about Clinical Documentation Improvement (CDI)! We kick this episode off as Hussain details the aspects that many CIOs and healthcare leaders don't understand about CDI but should. Next, we debate over whether RCM or more clinical quality efforts are driving the most CDI. Then, Hussain shares the keys to how he was able to centralize CDI across a growing integrated health system. There have been a lot of strides in integrating AI into healthcare for both simplification and improvement purposes, so how does this affect CDI? We first discuss if AI will fully take over doing all CDI. Then we take a look at technologies where AI creates notes, such as AI Medical Scribes or Ambient Clinical Voice, and analyze how they will help and/or hurt documentation CDI. Next, we discuss what aspects of revenue cycle management or clinical documentation Hussain feels not enough people are talking about. We then conclude this episode with Hussain sharing career advice to anyone who's interested in the CDI space.
